Torn Farm Photos

A torn farm photo is a common case: a print pulled out of a frame or an album, an argument over who keeps it, or a small child's hands leaves a ragged white line where the paper fibers show, sometimes with a missing corner or a whole strip gone, and farm photos from the 1890s to 1960s were rarely stored well enough to escape it.

Scratch & Tear Repair is the tool for torn farm photos: it targets a ragged white line where the paper fibers show, sometimes with a missing corner or a whole strip gone and leaves the rest of the farm photo alone. Output follows the shape of the upload, so the barn, the equipment and the animals end up where they always were in the torn original.

Scan the torn farm photo flat, or photograph it and run Photo-of-a-Photo Fixer first, so the tearing is the only thing left to repair. The farm photos come back in seconds, and the 4 free credits on sign-up cover the first Standard pass at the tearing.

  • A torn farm photo needed for a memorial, an anniversary or a reprint
  • A ragged white line where the paper fibers show, sometimes with a missing corner or a whole strip gone, spread over a farm photo
  • A torn farm photo that is the only copy anyone has
  • The barn, the equipment and the animals, hidden under the tearing
